2008 YEARBOOK VIRGINIA — MARYLAND — WASHINGTON, D.C. — WEST VIRGINIA 1 USTA/MID-ATLANTIC SECTION The past year has been busy and full of challenges. We have partnered with the National office and staff to improve President’s the USTA Mid-Atlantic Section (MAS). The Board of Di- rectors and I have promised to ensure open lines of commu- Message nication, transparency, and accountability, while the section volunteers and staff continue to work to offer a more diverse range of tennis opportunities for all members. The Virginia, Maryland, Washington, D.C., and West Virginia districts continue to strengthen Community Tennis Associations (CTAs) and other grass-roots programs. The MAS Committees have worked diligently to make the section both productive and progressive. I appreciate the Co-Chairs and members’ time, talent and contributions for a job well done. The Section’s Mid-Atlantic Tennis and Education Foundation (MATEF) is growing tennis by giving grants to juniors and tennis organizations that promote and develop tennis. MATEF also inducted Richey Reneberg, Cora Masters Barry, Roy Van Brunt, and Anne and Mark Geier into the Hall of Fame. The Legg Mason Tennis Classic is one of the largest and well-attended events, brought some of the world’s top-rated male tennis players to Washington, DC. Rose Hobson In the Virginia District, the Asian Festival in Reston had 20,000 participants in a carnival atmosphere, featuring on-court tennis games. The USTA Adult, Senior, Super Senior and Mixed Doubles leagues had a banner year with nearly 14% growth and continue to grow by leaps and bounds. In addition, new formats like Flex and Combo Leagues are growing and attracting more recrea- tional tennis players. The new Quick Start tennis format will provide more tennis opportunities, and we plan to reach a greater base of non-USTA players to get them into the game. A special thanks goes out to the MAS Board of Directors, Sectional Staff, District Officers and Staff, and MAS Volunteers. I challenge every USTA Mid-Atlantic member to be a part of the Section’s future and bring a friend, family member, or neighbor into this sport we all love. Better yet, sponsor a junior with a gift of a USTA membership. Volunteers are needed in the community-tennis associations, grass-roots programs, districts and the section. Please go online to www.midatlantic.usta.com or call the Section office at 703-556-6120. You can make a difference. We need your help. Join the USTA family.
